AiMOGA opens global pre-orders for Mobo home humanoid robot

AiMOGA plans to open global pre-orders for Mobo, its first home companion humanoid robot, at Chery’s user summit in Wuhu, China, from 19 to 23 October. The robot combines an AI system designed for longer tasks with spatial perception and obstacle avoidance, bringing a consumer-facing humanoid into a field still better known for factory demos than family routines.

What happened

AiMOGA says Mobo uses its MoAgent system to interpret instructions, break them into steps and plan tasks. The company describes voice, visual and conversational inputs, object recognition, navigation around changing obstacles, and memory of family members’ habits and preferences. Mobo has 22 degrees of freedom for movement and gestures.

The summit will be the robot’s formal global showcase and the start of pre-orders. AiMOGA has not disclosed the price, deposit requirements or delivery timing. The company also says its wider robotics portfolio has accumulated more than 3,000 deliveries across more than 60 countries and regions, spanning over 100 use cases.

Why it matters

The interesting test is whether a humanoid built for the home can move beyond a polished demonstration and handle useful tasks reliably. AiMOGA’s description points to the ingredients it believes matter: perception, memory and the ability to plan beyond a single command. But the announcement gives no price or delivery schedule, and those details will help determine whether this is an attainable product or an ambitious showroom proposition.

Our read

A home robot that can remember preferences and plan a sequence of tasks sounds more useful than one that merely waves on cue. For now, the claims are the company’s, and pre-orders are not the same as deliveries. Mobo’s real test will be what it can do in an ordinary home, at a price people can actually consider.

What to watch

• The price, deposit terms and expected delivery date when pre-orders open.
• What the summit demonstrations show Mobo doing beyond movement and interaction.
• Whether AiMOGA explains how its stated memory and privacy protections work in practice.
• Whether the company publishes independent evidence for its wider delivery and use-case figures.

Discussion spark: Would you place a pre-order for a home humanoid before seeing independent tests of its everyday abilities, or should these robots prove themselves in real homes first?
